Sustainable Sourcing HimalaSalt

HimalaSalt is a product line of primordial Himalayan sea salt produced and distributed by Massachusetts-based Sustainable Sourcing LLC.  The line features the "purest salt on earth," pink Himalayan sea salt with no additives.  The company focuses on what it calls "ethical sourcing" and prides itself on its sustainable packaging.

Sustainable Sourcing's founder Melissa Kushi has focused a great deal of attention on the packaging for the line that includes coarse salt, two different filled salt grinders and pre-ground finer table salt among others.  "All packaging is either 100% recycled, recyclable, refillable or reusable," said Kushi.

The company's operations run off 100% Green-e certified wind power and all the product's packaging carry the Green-e certified logo.

The products are of high quality there is no question.  Kushi has gone to great lengths to source free trade ethically sourced products like the Himalayan salt.  We had the opportunity to try several forms of salt from Sustainable Sourcing and found them to be fantastic.  Their signature Himalayan sea salt is more subtle and delicate in flavor compared to other sea salts on the market.  It provides a wonderfully soft burst of flavor - we love it on salads or with tomatoes.

The company sells two sizes of grinders with its coarse salt, both are refillable and will remain in the buyer's kitchen for years of use. 

The larger salt grinder uses ceramic blades and according to the company is, "100% climate-neutral made by wind power and Green-e certified through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation."  It is this focus on reuseability and responsible production that makes the product and packaging appealing to a wide segment of the market.

Himalasalt is available at Whole Foods Market (WFMI) and other retailers.
